Course code:
This class will offer the student a chance to learn the history and repertoire of American Music Theater. We will assign and direct students in scenes and songs from the classics of Broadway musicals and explore some new works as well. The course will focus on duets but may include some solo songs and/or larger ensemble numbers. Evaluation will be based on the successful rehearsal process and performance of three different scenes/monologues and songs. Students will be required to read the entire works that songs and scenes are culled from and clearly demonstrate an understanding of the full text and its historical significance. Students will also be required to keep a performance work log that includes all notes given in class and the response/plan of action to the notes.
Prerequisites:
None.
